Biography

Note: Corrected Lineage Regarding Burke's Landed Gentry

In Burke's ' Landed Gentry' George Tattershall (No. 2), of Stapleford, Wilts, is described as successor to this John Tattershall, and as having ' married Katherine, daughter of Francis Perkins, of Ufton, and purchased the estate of Finchampstead, Berks.'^[1]

This does not appear to be correct. As stated above, George Tattershall (No. 1) married, in 1562, Anne, widow of William Perkyns, and there is strong reason for believing that, by a former marriage, he was the father of George Tattershall (No. 2), who married ' Katherine, daughter of.... Perkins, of Ufton, Berks ' (as described in the ' Visitation of Berks,' 1664-65), who was really the daughter of William and Anne Perkins, and not of Francis Perkins, their son.^[1]

There were two ladies named Katherine Perkins : one was the daughter of William and Anne Perkins, of Ufton, the other was the daughter of Francis Perkins (son of William and Anne), and therefore granddaughter of William and Anne Perkins. Francis, son of William and Anne Perkins, was born between 1545 and 1556 : his son Francis was born in 1586, and therefore, had Katherine been his daughter, it is not likely that she could have been born earlier than 1584, in which case she certainly could not have been Mrs. George Tattershall (No. 2) in 1586.^[1]

Katherine Tattershall was doubtless the daughter of William and Anne Perkins. The date of her marriage cannot be found ; but it is scarcely possible that it could have been later than 1575, and most probably it was much earlier. She is shown above as Mrs. George Tattershall in 1586. William Perkins was younger than his brother Richard, who was born in 1500, and therefore William could not have been born earlier than 1501 ; he died in 1558, leaving one son, Francis, and five daughters, the eldest of whom was Katherine ; a sixth daughter, Dorothy, was born after her father's death. George Tattershall (No. 2), who married Katherine Perkins, was in 1584 seized in fee of the Manor 'or Lordship of Finchampstead West Court, and of a watermill and divers lands in Finchampstead belonging to the said Manor.' ^[1]

George Tattershall, No. 4, was born in March, 1603. Assuming he was the eldest son, of which there is no doubt, his father, No. 3, may have married about 1601-2 ; and as 1664 early marriages were usual in those times, he might then have been about twenty-five years old, or born not later than 1576 ; this would make the marriage of No. 2 not later than 1575, and probably it was earlier. ^[1]
